a printf statement looks something like this:

printf("This is a printf statement. I can print the value of a float variable here: %f and the value of my other int variable here: %d", myFloat, myInt);

the values of the variables will show up where the corresponding format specifier is. in this case you only need one format specifier in your printf string.

Since the challenge expects your output to be A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches you would need to use that as the string in your print f statement, except replace the 14.5 with the format specifier.
